SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 5th.
FLOUR-Prices are firm. owing to the high
rates for Wheat Net cash prices for California:
Best Family, IS 3515 55 p Dbl; Bakers extra,
81 70lG5 %; Supertine, So 1905 60.
WHEAT-Accurate figures for small lots in
the sample market are not easily given. There
is no trading to amount to anything through
this channel. All business being transacted at
the moment is negotiated through the Call
Board, and il is only by picking up odd parcels
and massing thenlint lots OF one hundred tons
for contract purposes, that the situation is kept
at all in mo ion. The Produce Exchange ad-
iourned last Friday for the holidays and will
not resume operations until tomorrow, so that
quotations are more or less of approximate
character. Perhaps 81 S21S q ctl VIII about rep
resent the figure at which small offerings of No.
shipping would be taken by exporters. In
the Call Board 1t could be disposed OF in quanti-
ties of not less than "pe hundred tons at 81 S9G
! 81 Z ell. Under present circumstances, mill
ers are obliged TO pay 81 90 for stock TO meet
their better classes of custom.
BARLEY-Now that the holidays are over, it
is expected that renewed activity will prevail
III this product. Receipts must necessarily in
crea.e az the season advances, and this will
afford opportunity for more extensive trading.
For iced descriptions, the range in prices is
81 05G1 OH, thongh for choice product the
holding figure is 81 0Sj4 2 ctl. More attention is
eXpectc1 TO be given to brewing parcels in the
near future. In fact, a bet er demand is already
noted for an article that is OF attractive char
acter. Prices show vice variation, as usual
Medium qualities will hardly bring over 81 l7112,
and some sellers would gladly accept 81 Is q
ctl. For a really good article, 81 20@l 22%
would about represent the market value while
for something extra fine customer could likely
he found at 81 % Z ctl. In Chevalier there IL
little if any local trading. Buyers are reported
to be picking up lots in the country at figure
equivalent to 81 621s ctl here. Nearly all pur-
chases in this line are on English account
OATS-The market has been quite tame of
late Stocks on hand move off very slowly,
and 1t is only by moderate concessions IN prices
that any business at all is transacted. There
seems to be an increasing desire to realize and
this fact does not strengthen the situation.
We quote as follows: Choice Feed, 81 60@I 65;
No. Feed, 81 55@1 GO; No. Q, 81 5091 So; Milling,

HOPS-Busine>s continues dull. Large buy
| ers not disposed to pay over l5c for crop of
1886, and from tins figure down to 12c 2 n must
be accepted as the current Iange.
VEGETABLES-Green Corn IS less plentiful
| and commands better prices. String Beans sell
| at wide range, owing TO the difference in the
| quality of offerings. Green Peppers keep low.
Tomatoes ave in fair request, top figures being
| readily obtained for choice article. Cucumbers
| are cheaper, under liberal re eipts. We quote ;

| FRUIT ade was somewhat irregular to-

1 too green to be i'll favor. Cherri are quite
| scarce but there is no special demand Figs
| are a drug at the moment. Berries move oft
| well. Small Catalogues make fair repre-
| sentation, though sales are slow. Apples are
abundant. mostly of inferior quality. Peas
